X3CrTi17 Product Description

Overview

X3CrTi17 is a titanium-stabilized ferritic stainless steel containing about 17% chromium. This datasheet presents the material within the Werkstoff-Nummer (DIN / EN) designation system.

With nominally 17% chromium and a titanium stabilizing addition, 1.4510 offers good resistance to corrosion and oxidation in mildly corrosive and oxidizing environments. The titanium ties up carbon and nitrogen, so the grade can be welded without the risk of intergranular corrosion and does not require post-weld annealing. Being ferritic and essentially nickel-free, it is magnetic, cannot be hardened by heat treatment, and is largely insensitive to chloride stress-corrosion cracking. It is well suited to cold forming such as bending, flanging and deep drawing, and is temperature-stable for the cold end of automotive exhaust systems.

Typical applications include automotive exhaust systems, heat exchangers, hot-water tanks, kitchen and household equipment, and welded components requiring resistance to chloride stress-corrosion cracking.

1. Physical Properties

Typical values, annealed condition, per EN reference data.

Specific heat (20 °C) 460 J/kg·K
Structure Ferritic

2. Chemical Composition (wt %)

Specified per EN 10088-2 (W.Nr. 1.4510, X3CrTi17).

Element Symbol Min % Max % Role in Alloy
Iron Fe Balance Base element
Chromium Cr 16.0 18.0 Corrosion / oxidation resistance
Titanium Ti 4×(C+N)+0.15 0.80 Stabiliser; ties up C and N
Manganese Mn 1.00 Deoxidiser
Silicon Si 1.00 Deoxidiser
Carbon C 0.050 Low (stabilised, weldability)
Nitrogen N 0.030 Low (stabilised)
Phosphorus P 0.040 Residual impurity
Sulphur S 0.015 Residual impurity

Nominal: 17Cr titanium-stabilized ferritic stainless steel.

3. Mechanical Properties

Annealed (+A) condition, per EN 10088-2 for W.Nr. 1.4510.

Condition Property Value
Annealed Tensile strength (Rm) 420–600 MPa
Annealed 0.2% proof strength (Rp0.2) ≥230 MPa
Annealed Elongation (A5) ≥23 %
Annealed Hardness ≤180 HB
Elastic modulus 220 GPa

Values per EN 10088-2; resistant to intergranular corrosion owing to titanium stabilization. Confirm against the inspection certificate (EN 10204).

4. Corrosion Resistance

Environment Performance Notes
Atmospheric / general Very Good Superior to 1.4016; approaches 1.4301 in some media
Oxidizing acids Good At low-to-moderate concentrations
Chloride stress-corrosion cracking Very Good Ferritic — largely immune
Pitting / crevice corrosion Moderate Below molybdenum-bearing grades
Oxidation (elevated temperature) Good Suited to exhaust cold-end service

Corrosion resistance is well above 1.4016 and, in many oxidizing media, approaches that of 1.4301 — with the advantage of immunity to chloride stress-corrosion cracking.

5. Heat Treatment

A ferritic grade; cannot be hardened by heat treatment. Properties are set by annealing.

Anneal Heat to approximately 780–880 °C and cool in air. Owing to titanium stabilization, post-weld annealing is not required to restore intergranular corrosion resistance. Avoid prolonged exposure near 475 °C (embrittlement).

6. Weldability and Joining

Readily welded without the risk of intergranular corrosion owing to titanium stabilization; post-weld annealing is not required.

Welding Process Applicability Filler / Consumable
GTAW / TIG Very Good Stabilized ferritic or nickel-base filler
GMAW / MIG Good Matching stabilized filler
Resistance / seam Good

Use a stabilized stainless or nickel-base filler to maintain weld-metal corrosion resistance.

7. Machinability and Fabrication

Machining Guidelines

Parameter Recommendation
Machinability Good; similar to other ferritic grades
Work hardening Low rate — superior formability
Coolant Ample flood coolant

Forming Processes

Process Notes
Cold forming Excellent — bending, flanging, deep drawing
Hot forming ~1100–800 °C; anneal afterward

8. Applications

Industry Typical Components Key Requirements
Automotive Exhaust systems, trim Oxidation resistance + formability
Heat transfer Heat exchangers, tubing Thermal stability + SCC resistance
Water heating Hot-water tanks Corrosion resistance + weldability
Household Kitchen and appliance components Formability + corrosion resistance
